I've had mine so long I forgot when I bought it. Probably 1987 or 88. I've got a lot of different pistols and revolvers, but I carry this one often. I have Hogue wraparound grips and usually use 5906 mags with the adapter on the bottom so it fits flush with the bottom of the grip. It's sitting right here next to me at the moment. Love the way it handles and shoots.
